Tube wells
Solar pump planning for borewell depth, water need and daily irrigation timing.
Solar water pump
Solar pump guidance for farms, tube wells and irrigation.
Farmers can reduce diesel and electricity dependence with solar water pumps. Niku Solar helps explain pump sizing, site needs, documents and PM-KUSUM subsidy process.
PM-KUSUM subsidy
Water pump subsidy is usually handled under PM-KUSUM.
Component-B supports stand-alone solar agriculture pumps, generally up to 7.5 HP. For most states, the subsidy structure is 30% central government, 30% state government and 40% farmer contribution, subject to benchmark/tender cost and official approval.
30%Central subsidy
30%State subsidy
40%Farmer contribution
Actual subsidy, application window, vendor list and pump categories depend on Rajasthan PM-KUSUM portal/MNRE rules. We help you understand the process before applying.
Best for farms
Where solar water pumps help.
Diesel replacement
Reduce recurring diesel cost and bring more predictable daytime water supply.
Surface pumps
Support for ponds, tanks and open water sources where surface pumps fit.
Submersible pumps
Guidance for submersible pump options, HP selection and panel sizing.
Approx diesel savings
How much diesel cost can 3 HP and 5 HP solar pumps reduce?
These examples assume diesel price around Rs 90/litre and 5 hours of pump running per day for 25 days per month. Actual savings depend on pump condition, bore depth, water level, pipe size, fuel price and irrigation hours.
Approx Rs 9,000/month saving
Yearly diesel spend: Rs 9,000 x 12 = Rs 1,08,000. If the pump runs only 6 months, diesel spend can still be around Rs 54,000.
Approx Rs 13,500/month saving
Yearly diesel saving can be around Rs 1,62,000 if the pump runs similarly across 12 months.
Formula used: diesel litres per hour x daily running hours x monthly running days x diesel price. Solar pump savings are highest where farmers currently use diesel pumps regularly.
